    We have our puppy from Patty. We are so happy with her, she is an amazing dog, our kids love her so much. Its been almost a year and we cant imagine it any other way. Patty was very helpful and patient with us. Thanks again!

    The Mo!

    It's a beautiful late June evening and we're at Tripoli Tap in Lincoln Park celebrating Mo's six month birthday. We've had Mo, a mini-golden doodle, since he was ten weeks old and weighed just under six pounds. He now tips the scales at a healthy 15 pounds. Mo's affectionate (he loves all people and all dogs even when he shouldn't), playful, and exceptionally easy to train. He's terrific around young children including my toddler grandchildren. He accompanies my wife to her office each day and has a great rapport with the people she works with. We're grateful to PP for connecting us to Mo!

    Bella, a Morkie, from Patty's Puppies @ 13 years old. Thank you so much for her.
    John N W.

    We recieved our sweet little Bella, a Morkie, in 2009 after she had been in three homes before she found her forever home with Kathy and me. She brought new life into our home after losing two rescue dogs, Bitsie lived until 18 years old and Katie lived until 16 years old. We were not looking for a dog when we saw little Bella running around in our neighbors front yard. We fell in love with her immediately. She was so filled with love and life that most puppies have but she had this funny way of showing her happiness...she would smile while showing her teeth. My neighbor Scott nicknamed her choppers. She lived a long time, 13 years, and would have live a lot longer but sadly she was attacked and killed by a wolf/shephard hybrid two weeks after her 13th birthday. We were devastated. We are still morning her loss but we know we must get another dog because life without a dog is pretty empty and boring. After all Dog is God spelled backwards. He created dogs to be our companions and part of our pack. We will be contacting Patty this week to find another furry friend. See you soon Patty.

    I've gotten two of my girls from Patty (one 8 years ago and one 1 month ago) and they are both smart, wonderful, sweet, healthy and full of personality. The puppies are so well taken care of in Patty's home.

    I bought my dog from Patty 2014. He's definitely had health issues. In fact he was sick the day that I bought him and so I had to wait a week before I could take him home. I can only speculate as to what issues are a result of his environment (including being shipped across the country) before I got him and so I will reserve placing any blame there. In any case, I did recently become aware of a UShip profile that seems to belong to you (https://tinyurl.com/y6shkpoc) and would like an explanation. Similar to what others have said, I was told that my wheaten terrier puppy came from a local breeder. According to this UShip profile however it seems you have puppies, sometimes 15-20 at a time, shipped across the country (https://tinyurl.com/yxjmfuqk). In one puppy shipment you stated, according to this, that the driver could just "put the puppies in a plastic container with wood chips???" That's disturbing (https://tinyurl.com/y2dvttxs). In fact it's heartbreaking to think that my dog may have been shipped in such a manner. Can you explain this please? Quite honestly I'm amazed that such a site would make all this information public but it seems legit and many of the details included in each order/shipment are quite disconcerting. Any explanation would be appreciated and if nothing else it appears that you are being dishonest as to how and where you get your puppies from, no?

    We got our puppy girl June 2020. She was sold to us with severe Giardia and a massive double ear infection. Our dog came incredibly sick, and we believe Patty was not properly caring for those puppies. Giardia is highly communicable between dogs, and since she keeps them all together in the same room and they share water/food, it's likely all those puppies (including our puppy's sister) had Giardia. Our dog suffered long-term health complications from the Giardia. We are from IL, so our dog did not get something by being shipped to us. When we called Patty to say that our dog was very, very sick very suddenly (per the contract we read and signed), Patty kept saying it was because the dog was just acclimating to her new environment. She was vomiting profusely and severely hypoglycemic. We did not bring the dog back to her per her suggestion because the situation was raising a lot of red flags. Please be aware that Patty is not the breeder of these dogs! She gets them from breeders and sells them! She has tons of allergies! From what we have researched and our experience speaking with others who have gone to breeders, we overpaid and were not given all the proper paperwork. Patty neglected to provide information on our puppy's parents, so we actually had no clue what kind of cockapoo she is until we spoke with a vet and our puppy's trainer; we also did not get any information on the breeder she came from. We found out our dog was from Iowa, NOT Wisconsin like she claims. We only found this out when we had to call the clinic that did her microchip. Additionally, our dog exhibits behaviors consistent with dogs who are weaned from their mothers too soon (like sucking/nibbling on blankets and very bad separation anxiety) that we know to be true because her vet saw this. We believe there is something fishy with the breeder and we are not happy with the experience we had. We are keeping our puppy girl forever, but we will NEVER AGAIN go through Patty or any other breeder or "source." Our biggest regret is that we did not save her sister, too. Overall, Very fishy!! Here is a link to a list of known puppy mills (Patty makes an appearance!) https://bailingoutbenji.com/puppy-mill-maps/cvi-data/illinois/?fbclid=IwAR2erImqVjG6V9Yf7IiPNXy1xzXKT9SBfzsFgLvaRUm35a5XVn0HXQE1abE Patty, I know you read these, and I am not looking to argue. People deserve to know others' experiences and the truth.

    Although we adopted our baby Winston (who's a teddy bear) just over a year ago from Patty's Pups, I still wanted to post this review. My husband brought home our little angel as a surprise (after many many hints being dropped) last Valentine's Day. Since day one we've had no issues with him. He's healthy, happy and absolutely adorable. Now over a year later, we've all relocated to Australia and little winnie is as happy and healthy as can be. Thank you so much Patty for bringing this little angel into our lives. We can't remember what life was like before him!

    Long over due review but 8 years ago we came to Patty's Pups to find an addition to our family. We left with our best friend, Daisy, the Goldendoodle. She has been the best thing that has ever happened to us. At the time, Patty was informative, sweet, and professional. We are so happy we came to her almost 9 years ago.

    List of puppy mill's Patty buys from

    Puppy mill's where Patty gets her pups are listed in the photo. Got two dogs from Patty. One died a horrible death from throat cancer at the age of 8 and the other had to be put down because his neurological issues were too far gone. Unless you want to spend thousands on vet bills and expensive dog trainers, just to end up with a dead dog, don't shop here. The people who are rating Patty 5 stars got lucky. Comparable to Petland, except it's in her backyard. Please don't make my mistake. Research reputable breeders who specialize in one specific breed

    I've had my pup for 7 years now. He's such a loyal dog , doesn't bite, great with children , I trust him without a leash , and to top it off he's the sweetest dog ever. I absolutely adore him and I just want to thank Patty for blessing me with such a wonderful dog

    See all

    I have utilized Kathy and All Creatures Pet Sitting for over 11 years and I would unequivocally…read morerecommend her HIGHLY as a pet-sitter. She has cared for a myriad of my animals, which include cats, dogs and reptiles. With her experience as a pet owner, a pet-sitter and a vet tech, there is no one else outside of my family whom I would consider caring for my beloved pets in my absence. As an entrepreneur who has also owned a pet-sitting business, I can absolutely confirm that all of the concerns Kathy apparently tried to convey are legitimate issues that should have been raised. Trying to "save money" by hiring a pet-sitter to come to your house once a day, while leaving them unattended for the other 23.5 hours does not, in my humble opinion, represent a pet-owner who has the best interest of their pet as their first priority. If your dog becomes sick or injured an hour after a pet-sitter leaves, that animal will be unattended and uncared for until the pet-sitter returns. It sounds like Kathy tried to bring an awareness of that. Doggie doors are notorious for allowing other animals into the house, such as rats, mice, raccoons and opossums. Often these animals will be attracted to the smell of uneaten dog food. Once in the house, the larger wild animals have no idea how to get out. This leaves your home AND your pets vulnerable. Doggie doors also allow outside weather elements into your home and it doesn't surprise me that during December a bowl of water that was in the vicinity froze. That's hardly shocking Just because something hasn't happened once in 11 years doesn't mean it will NEVER happen and it is your pet-sitter's duty as a professional to make you aware of these things. "These things" are also known as "liabilities" in business, and they are specific to the pet-sitting industry. They are hardly "doom and gloom scenarios". They are a reality that Kathy tried to prevent, which is in the best interest of the pet, the pet owner and a protection for the pet-sitter's business. As far as Kathy having any responsibility in your female dog getting pregnant, that's quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I don't know what kind of fencing you have, but unless it is a thoroughly covered box with a sealed top, any un-neutered male dog could get to her. Male dogs have scaled 10 foot fences and mated through chain link. If your female dog was unsupervised at any time during her heat cycle, an unaltered male dog could easily have found a way to impregnate her. In summary, I have used All Creature's Pet-Sitting in the past and I will definitely have Kathy care for my pets in my home in the future. She is kind, caring and I have never doubted her integrity or her professionalism. I would highly recommend her to anyone who was in need of a pet-sitter. The above review from "Mr. Kevin" is completely anomalous from what I have experienced with Kathy and All Creatures.

    Kathy has been extremely caring for our dog. She has been very flexible in accommodating our…read moreschedule. She has brought to our attention when something didn't seem right with our dog so we could take her to the vet for care. Kathy also brings in any packages that arrive for us. I recommend her services for any pet. She is caring and trustworthy .
